Factors such as adherence to traditional…

Given the scope of this problem, effective prevention strategies are necessary. Sexual assault prevention programs have included…

Struckman-Johnson, Cindy; Struckman-Johnson, David – Sex Roles: A Journal of Research, 1992

A majority disagree with all the myths, most strongly with the myth that rape is not traumatic for men. Results are discussed in terms of societal attitudes. (SLD)
